Veggie burger cabbage cups

All you really need for this crisp, flavorful recipe are cabbage, chopped onions and veggie burgers. Hungry Healthy Girl suggests using a chile relleno-flavored patty, but you could just as easily mix it up with some Asian inspiration as well. If you go that route, pair with soy sauce for dipping.

Veggie burger tacos

These veggie burger tacos from The Whole Tara take the guesswork out of vegan taco meat options. She recommends you spread half a burger on the bottom of your taco shell before layering up on corn, black beans, onions and red pepper. There’s even an avocado cream sauce to top it all off.
